SELECTED TRAINING SYSTEMS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF WORKING DOGS
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2018, Vol 48, Issue 345
Abstract
The aim of the study was to characterize the basic training systems for the main types of working dogs used in Poland. The training system for each group aims to improve on the innate traits that identify the animal with the function it is to perform. A well-trained dog is focused on its handler, in whom it has complete confidence, developed through consistency and mutual respect while working together. Irrespective of the type of training conducted and the breed or working type, it is important to observe the principles of safety and welfare, and above all, to be patient and consistent in conducting exercises.
